Oct 10, 2009 Great bottle label and a rich gold beer with a lasting head -- just off-white. Aromas of fir, plums and rough grains all carried by a sweet alcohol. Dense, lengthy palate. Light bitterness and tart hop acidity. The finish is a little beer-y, coarse malt and a heavier dose of alcohol. Overall, a pricey primer on the structural elements of a tripel, but they can all be tasted here -- all but the refinement of the straight St. Bernardus stuff.

Oct 6, 2009 33cl bottle from the brewery itself. Nice goldyellow colour with a nice foamhead. Smell contains lot’s of yeast and several spices which I can’t give a name. Finish has rather a too big amount of alcohol in it.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle erupted upon opening. Pours hazy yellow with a huge fluffy white head. Taste is spicy yeast, candy sugar, and a slight bread-like finish. Aroma is similar. Decent beer, certainly drinkable, but kind of dull and predictable. There are better tripels out there.

Oct 1, 2009 33cl Bottle from Achelse Kluis. Hazy orange colour, dense creamy white head. Aroma of yeast, ripe stonefruits, sugar, some wheat. Flavour is sweet, malty, very fruity with pineapple, peach and pear, yeast, drying light bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Very nice tripel.

Sep 26, 2009 Pours a clear light gold with a large frothy white head. Smels fruity and sugary with some grassy elements. Tastes of perfume, some citrus, grassy, dry pilsner malt, some funky hints.

Sep 18, 2009 Pours a hazy gold color with a nice white creamy head. Aroma of hops and some fruits and a hint of vanilla. Flavors are very floral, hoppy and light, with spices and a hint of vanilla. A slightly bitter ending but with a nice lasting taste. Very nice and very enjoyable.

Sep 11, 2009 I was pumped to try this one when I saw it. Pours a hazy yellow with a ton of carbonation. Ive never seen such a fizzy beer in my life. Huge frothy white head. Pretty shitty taste in my opinion. A sour, puke taste. I can’t believe I wasted five bucks for a bottle of this crap. Belgium sucks.

Sep 10, 2009 Appearance: Light straw color, white head.
Aroma: Sweet floral, candy sugar with ripe pear showing as it warms.
Flavor: Sweet caramel and candy sugar from start to finish. A touch of spice and a toasted note on the finish.
Comment: Bottle states best before 4/10. Not complex but very pleasant caramel and toasty malt flavors. A good "gateway" triple to introduce to newcomers?
